Colombian drunks

When we talk about any type of gastronomy from outside Spain, we tend towards a completely absurd reductionism.

We give opinions about Chinese cuisine assuming that it is the same everywhere, ignoring the fact that we would need 19 Spains to form a complete China.

Taking into account the diversity of recipe books that exist in our country from north to south, how can we talk about the total gastronomy of a country without taking into account the regions that make up its biodiversity?

The example of Colombia goes even further: there is very little knowledge about its gastronomy, it is a country with an extensive recipe book and a huge variety of ingredients and techniques that depend on the region we are talking about.

Allegation made, we are going to cook aborrajados, a dish that is prepared with ripe bananas and cheese, mainly.

Basically, we have to crush a piece of fried banana, put cheese on top and roll it up so that it closes and looks like a little package.

Then it is passed through a mixture of flour, water and egg and fried.

The main advantage is that the filling can go much further: beef, pork, fish, tofu, other types of cheese and aromatic herbs are perfectly acceptable when preparing it.

Plus, it doesn't have to be salty: add cinnamon and chocolate and you'll have a delicious sweet.

Personally, I like it with mozzarella and beef, and I accompany it with some spicy sauce and a little lime juice.

Preparing it is very simple;

The only drawback is the frying (but, from time to time, few things are more satisfying).

Time:

15 minutes

Difficulty:

You have to have a little hand to close them well, but nothing too far
